We still have about a month more until the course finishes but yesterday somehow left a sad feeling inside me. In just six months, I got more attached to NIFT than I ever could to Amity University. Although I've had a wonderful time till now in Amity and got hold on a bunch of nice people, I could just not connect to it. On the other hand, NIFT gave me much more to remember in just a span of six months.<br />For this final submission, we had to buy anything that we could find in Chandni Chowk and make something out of it. After creating something, we had to style our outfits in unconventional ways. After weeks of brainstorming, I came up with so many ideas that it all just got confusing inside my head. Because I had to start from somewhere, I purchased a glue gun. Trust me on this dear readers, you wouldn't want to get burned from that because I did (that too thrice) and it was pretty painful.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; clear: both; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P4tqJmVWKGA/WpEzkUahWaI/AAAAAAAALq0/j2JDlG6UzeMLJ6YOS6FHf_Mz8dUgSnmqwCLcBGAs/s1600/_ABX5741.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1142" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P4tqJmVWKGA/WpEzkUahWaI/AAAAAAAALq0/j2JDlG6UzeMLJ6YOS6FHf_Mz8dUgSnmqwCLcBGAs/s640/_ABX5741.JPG" width="456" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a2nd6NOV4QE/WpEzj6oBrSI/AAAAAAAALqw/wvYbbyLK7oIbot9DORosLmj3eGmrYhzRACLcBGAs/s1600/_ABX5733.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1124" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a2nd6NOV4QE/WpEzj6oBrSI/AAAAAAAALqw/wvYbbyLK7oIbot9DORosLmj3eGmrYhzRACLcBGAs/s640/_ABX5733.JPG" width="448" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TRrlWXTgCtU/WpE1hvKoE1I/AAAAAAAALrE/oqYYHvIxpv8qzeH7IJ8ID4qGJuKv996CACLcBGAs/s1600/_ABX5734.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="972" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TRrlWXTgCtU/WpE1hvKoE1I/AAAAAAAALrE/oqYYHvIxpv8qzeH7IJ8ID4qGJuKv996CACLcBGAs/s640/_ABX5734.JPG" width="388" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CY2chfS6md4/WpE1j7k4JOI/AAAAAAAALrI/fN_nCDHccWYLWrt48b7rMV_EtBmPKEGbQCLcBGAs/s1600/_ABX5745.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1075" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CY2chfS6md4/WpE1j7k4JOI/AAAAAAAALrI/fN_nCDHccWYLWrt48b7rMV_EtBmPKEGbQCLcBGAs/s640/_ABX5745.JPG" width="430" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I don't have a designing background as most of you would know but a lot of thought and effort went into the designing and styling of this whole look.

They are present everywhere in our daily lives. The air of mystery is always revolving around these influencers. Everybody wants to become one because it seems pretty&nbsp;glamorous, but nobody has a clue as to how it all works. From where you watch, it must seem quite appealing and exciting but when you look&nbsp;up close, you'd realize&nbsp;that it's one hell of a task. Because being an influencer is not about being popular. It's about causing an impact on somebody's life. If not a lot, at least a little. Now that you know who an influencer is, let's get back to the question which led you to open this post- do fashion influencers influence <i>anybody?</i></span></div><div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">The answer to this question would be both, yes and no.&nbsp;</div><div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br /></div><div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">Yes, because there are some people out there with brilliant style and creativity. They're original. Their style defines them. These actual influencers are not afraid of trying on a new style. Moreover, they enjoy doing what they do, not giving a damn about how their followers would perceive their style. On the other side, some so-called fashion influencers are not influencing anybody. Their personal style is far from original and they're always fretting about how their followers would accept their style. As we have both present in front of us, it can sometimes be hard to determine that who is doing the right job and who isn't. They all look the same but what they create from their creative minds is poles apart. So it's your job to find out which influencer's style speaks to you and has an everlasting impact on you.</div><div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br /></div><div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">I've also compiled an ethnic street look for you all in this post.

And like every other person, I forget about the resolutions as soon as February hits the calendar. For 2018, I wanted to come up with small-small goals which can be achieved without having to sweat much over it. I'm trying to set up monthly goals so that I'm able to do a lot more than I do when I have yearly goals.&nbsp;<div>For January, I decided to maintain my day planner regularly and be on track. Then I decided that it's time to get a grip on my shopping for at least a month. I also tried to eat as much healthy food as I could because I eat shit from outside all the time and then it makes me sick. I had set up another goal which was for my trip to Goa which took place in the last week of January. I planned to explore that city as much as I could and luckily, I had the right set of people who were game for it.&nbsp;</div><div>My last goal for January was to get more experimental with my street style.

I've been blogging for six years while I've been on Instagram for three years now. When I started off, I had no such portal to grow my blog or to spread a word about it. All I could do was refer it to people or send a broadcast message with a web link of my recent blog post. You may be thinking that Instagram is indeed doing us, bloggers a huge favor as we get to promote it widely now. To some extent, I would agree with you that Instagram came around the right time and saved us. We can now finally connect globally and have a space where a single picture is enough to represent the entire blog. Oh, and let's not forget that Instagram is helping us get business and connect more with brands.<br />While all this makes Instagram look too tempting, you should also get the real picture that it is in a way killing fashion blogs. If a person sees the entire outfit of a blog post on Instagram, then there are very few chances of him opening the blog. Content is getting shorter and shorter and the focus is completely shifting to pictures. And hearing, "did you see that blogger's outfit on Instagram" is more common than, "did you read the recent blog written by so and so blogger?" Oh, and it's suddenly become all about the number of followers you have on Instagram rather than the quality of the blog post.<br />If you ask me, content should be the king while portals like Instagram should only be used to spread a word and promote your work.<br /><br />On a lighter note, here's a look I wanted to compile since forever but couldn't get a hold of these pants. Finally, my prayers were answered and I was able to compile a look which is a fusion of the 70s fashion and the modern times ahead.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zJRf0pofjNw/Wjve4QmKX3I/AAAAAAAALTE/dTjCLqMiesYwzYEveBS_4CUpzckikKjJwCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0924.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I'm one of those people who hate weddings but love to shop for them. No matter how time-consuming it is, shopping for weddings is a different kind of fun.<br />This wedding season, my mom wanted me to get my clothes stitched. Her&nbsp;plan was to go with basic shararas, sarees and lehengas. I, on the other hand, wanted to experiment with the outfits. Now my mom is skeptical when it comes to experimenting but after negotiating with her, I got to experiment with one outfit. Since I have no knowledge of designing or of tailors, I tried looking online for Indian outfits. It wasn't long before I found the exact outfit I wanted. Gone are the times when wearing Indian clothes was a huge task. We live in an era where wearing heavy Indian wear has also become effortless and I definitely want to make the most of this time!&nbsp;<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ROoTE3FSrWQ/WiGbHPhHVkI/AAAAAAAALK0/FlbCLzm1F1495ThbTOSh1UALA5ihmGSYACLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0976-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Wait. Maybe I can. On Christmas. Definitely!!!<br />I absolutely never write my blogs like this except when winters begin so please bear with me.<br /><br />So after 3 years I again got a fringes haircut done to my hair. Everybody told me to not experiment with my hair yet again but being the crazy hasty decision-making teenager that I am, I got my hair chopped off again. Although I'm pretty happy with my new look and I'm also getting a great response on my social media, it did hit me that I'm no longer that girl who would go out of the way to experiment or take risks with her hair (and here I thought that I'll dye my hair pink in college!) Don't get me wrong dear readers. I love my new haircut but if asked, whether I'd prefer my straight cut to my fringes, I'd go with the former.<br /><br />On a lighter note, here's one of the many lookbooks for winters that I'm going to display all winter season long on my blog. I've always wanted to try this look but somehow it was never done. I've tried this look in both of my colleges and got a positive response. For all the fashion students and people in the creative fields in colleges should definitely don this look this winters. It's a big hit amongst fashion colleges for sure!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-szopa1zToCI/WhZUy9M9iVI/AAAAAAAAKkY/5Oylvha7g0cN0Bg_y633goydgsYHO4ImgCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0913.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="1600" height="440" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-szopa1zToCI/WhZUy9M9iVI/AAAAAAAAKkY/5Oylvha7g0cN0Bg_y633goydgsYHO4ImgCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0913.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hwqBxuZm2ws/WhZUB-O0XvI/AAAAAAAAKkQ/6ipVBcxKg-A-RhreOljE0ArOY5dEC0SawCEwYBhgL/s1600/DSC_0885.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hwqBxuZm2ws/WhZUB-O0XvI/AAAAAAAAKkQ/6ipVBcxKg-A-RhreOljE0ArOY5dEC0SawCEwYBhgL/s640/DSC_0885.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N2cyBW5r7fU/WhZT7C2-0nI/AAAAAAAAKkQ/2rX853bPwlQiJFrvnJ6o2wpFt3etg-07gCEwYBhgL/s1600/DSC_0856.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N2cyBW5r7fU/WhZT7C2-0nI/AAAAAAAAKkQ/2rX853bPwlQiJFrvnJ6o2wpFt3etg-07gCEwYBhgL/s640/DSC_0856.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GqE9nYHjFf0/WhZT5F4ARyI/AAAAAAAAKkQ/MzqpqPxT0TQtNUxaVAtll2ABAdThQvckQCEwYBhgL/s1600/DSC_0901.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GqE9nYHjFf0/WhZT5F4ARyI/AAAAAAAAKkQ/MzqpqPxT0TQtNUxaVAtll2ABAdThQvckQCEwYBhgL/s640/DSC_0901.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9Wn7Q8SRwdI/WhZWIlTo_CI/AAAAAAAAKko/D3wY1jCuYq4uZwILB2UKgjVd9AzzFU0CACLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0867.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1022" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9Wn7Q8SRwdI/WhZWIlTo_CI/AAAAAAAAKko/D3wY1jCuYq4uZwILB2UKgjVd9AzzFU0CACLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0867.JPG" width="408" /></a></div><br /><br />-Shweghna.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Shweghna Gursahaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646293237297149785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296887802832015310.post-83359333140524460472017-11-07T09:16:00.000-08:002017-11-07T09:16:16.925-08:00What It's Like to be in Two Colleges<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Almost every day I am asked, "what it's like to be in two colleges?" People belonging to all age groups ask me this question. Whether it's my friends from one college or my relatives from a different generation. And I'm pretty sure that half of you have opened this post only to know the answer to the same question.<br />But first, I'd love it if you go through my recent shoot and then you'll find the answer and the explanation to this question.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6rZn_gWWUXU/Wf8QfT7yOwI/AAAAAAAAJcc/rOAL6LGFOcEka86o7tM7lI3o8loB0EdzACLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0809.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="534" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6rZn_gWWUXU/Wf8QfT7yOwI/AAAAAAAAJcc/rOAL6LGFOcEka86o7tM7lI3o8loB0EdzACLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0809.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f_C9nLgk91k/Wf8Qg4C3UtI/AAAAAAAAJcg/-8_JzI1dVNM4semu-rzCjbOKsOM1iuJlACLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0814.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="534" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f_C9nLgk91k/Wf8Qg4C3UtI/AAAAAAAAJcg/-8_JzI1dVNM4semu-rzCjbOKsOM1iuJlACLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0814.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nCxA_hclb0Y/Wf8QiT5sG4I/AAAAAAAAJck/AYrZ6mHPLCYTRn-ruGLLYvvE4jnMuJuXwCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0826.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="546" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nCxA_hclb0Y/Wf8QiT5sG4I/AAAAAAAAJck/AYrZ6mHPLCYTRn-ruGLLYvvE4jnMuJuXwCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0826.JPG" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--SmyFwu9F8s/Wf8QjXqU-KI/AAAAAAAAJco/eO24YEjm7sguwTUA10AC9fYA1H1ApwN0wCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0828.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="571" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--SmyFwu9F8s/Wf8QjXqU-KI/AAAAAAAAJco/eO24YEjm7sguwTUA10AC9fYA1H1ApwN0wCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0828.JPG" width="456" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pYOS6ywYMis/Wf8Qk6TQTaI/AAAAAAAAJcs/-mFyUhWJ75ElVDhw7L2jW7kMKH5NBfiAgCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0763.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="534" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pYOS6ywYMis/Wf8Qk6TQTaI/AAAAAAAAJcs/-mFyUhWJ75ElVDhw7L2jW7kMKH5NBfiAgCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0763.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I'm pursuing Journalism and Mass Communication from Amity University, Noida and in NIFT, I'm studying Creative Fashion Styling which is a six months long course. My attendance in all the subjects, in both the courses <b>has </b>to be above 75%. Otherwise, I'll get debarred in Amity and won't get a degree in NIFT. In this semester, I have nine subjects in Amity while this month in NIFT, I'm studying three subjects (subjects change according to the set classes).<br />I get assignments in both the colleges for all the subjects. In fact NIFT teachers give 2-3 assignments in each class which we have to submit before the next class. If we fail to submit even one assignment, we won't get a certificate.<br />To be honest, it is no cake walk. I have a tight schedule which I have to follow at all times. I can't procrastinate or I'll be behind in one college or in my blog.<br />I've lost a lot of sleep and I now have bags under my eyes which are not ready to leave. Oh, and I'm constantly dependent on coffee to get through the day. Even on the days when I don't have classes in NIFT, I have to do assignments and keep up with my course. Attendance in Amity is always an issue so maintaining it is any way a big task. Now with my other college, I'm always on the edge.<br />I feel tired most of the times and on days when I can't chill even when I deserve to, I feel very agitated and I scream at anybody who tries talking to me.<br /><br />This is my second month in NIFT and I feel that now I'm coping. In the first month, I couldn't manage much and used to end up crying on one out of three days. I questioned my decision of joining NIFT millions of times during my crying sessions.<br />Because of being into so many things, I couldn't give any time to my family. My sister had to drag me from my room to spend time with her. Most of the time, I'm still not able to give them time because of a tight schedule but I'm trying to improve. My friends obviously had the same problem that time was always an issue with me.<br />The worst incident was when I got a severe eye allergy and dryness (still have it). I got it because firstly, all my work is online so I'm hooked to my laptop. Secondly, I used to put lenses for 12-15 hours each day which dried my eyes. Thirdly, because of lack of sleep, my eyes were getting no rest at all. They started turning bloodshot red and I had to give up my lenses for a month. Now I'm allowed to use my laptop but I've to take breaks to give rest to my eyes.<br />One month into being in NIFT, I got a call for an interview for the post of a fashion intern at Cosmopolitan India. Now dear readers, I must tell you that Cosmo is my dream place to work at. Ever since I've started this blog, I have dreamed of working there. I went to give the interview. I was given just three minutes. It was the shortest interview of my life but after giving it, I was given the internship. I could work at my dream place and learn from one of the best people of the fashion industry. I obviously couldn't do the internship because the timings didn't work out. It took me a week to recover from this incident.<br />And just last week, I got an internship offer from Harper's Bazaar Bride as a fashion intern. Still couldn't do the internship because of the same tight schedule. Let's just say that this time my heart was not completely broken.<br /><br />But I feel that once I've finished this course, I'll have more experience and more knowledge. I'll obviously be able to perform much better than I can now. There's tons of growth in both my courses and even though it's one hell of a ride, I don't regret even for a second for opting this course along with my other course and blog.<br /><br /><br />-Shweghna.<br /><br /><br /></div>Shweghna Gursahaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646293237297149785noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296887802832015310.post-77220138544899049012017-11-03T02:28:00.000-07:002017-11-03T02:28:05.755-07:00I Have a Disease. I Can't Stop Shopping! <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I first saw Confessions of a Shopaholic when I was in school. I still remember how fascinating the entire movie was for me because I could relate with Rebecca Bloomwood SO much!<br /><div>Just like she couldn't say no to clothes and found any possible reason to shop, I can't stop buying clothes just because I'm bored or I need to cheer myself up.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>There was this one time when I shopped online off the hook. I bought something every day for 3 weeks. Because of a tight schedule, my entire family had odd timings of going home so there was nobody to collect my orders. To not delay the procedure I had asked all the delivery guys to give the orders to my next-door neighbor. My neighbor accepted my order once. Then twice. Then thrice. But after that, he blatantly said no. My neighbor also shared the fact that he thought of me as an insane girl who has no life apart from purchasing clothes and makeup. Apart from the humiliation caused by my dearest neighbor, there were also incidents which made me realize that I have a disease of shopping.&nbsp;</div><div>Don't get me wrong dear readers. I still don't get up at 5:00AM to reach the Forever 21 sale or buy something just because it's not there in my closet. But, when I see something that I like, I have to, have to buy it. And if you too get haunting dreams of the things that you don't buy then you're no different than me. I'll admit something out loud. As soon as I get my pocket money or the money that I earn from a campaign or internship, I spend 97% of it on clothes. There are so many times when my friends want to go out to eat and I tell them, "I can't go for lunch. I spent my lunch money on clothes" (let's not discuss the kind of looks I get after using this line").<br />Now I've practically never met anybody who loves shopping as much as me but I'm sure most of the girls out there have a similar mindset.<br />This post is to all those ladies out there who are sailing in the same boat as mine!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RxiZC__Xgok/Wfw0uRGTpNI/AAAAAAAAJSk/5qPDV-9Xr3oIdB_EFqtkw5QYFogzynZNQCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0741.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RxiZC__Xgok/Wfw0uRGTpNI/AAAAAAAAJSk/5qPDV-9Xr3oIdB_EFqtkw5QYFogzynZNQCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0741.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NJXZWMZXRvY/Wfw2XNTUunI/AAAAAAAAJTE/vOoTbQND6zo94EGyiMPtMSYzCMOaWM0IQCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0748.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NJXZWMZXRvY/Wfw2XNTUunI/AAAAAAAAJTE/vOoTbQND6zo94EGyiMPtMSYzCMOaWM0IQCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0748.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qiGQI7Jv1CU/Wfw0yObOzqI/AAAAAAAAJSo/STnGH4bBLwwEsb2Ls6MPRQYbMfI9gQy5ACLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0743.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qiGQI7Jv1CU/Wfw0yObOzqI/AAAAAAAAJSo/STnGH4bBLwwEsb2Ls6MPRQYbMfI9gQy5ACLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0743.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rXf4oKDNUjs/Wfw1SIrKnnI/AAAAAAAAJS0/xeE8CJPDiGsw5tp85w4ACf3xYtvLyXgCwCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0736.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rXf4oKDNUjs/Wfw1SIrKnnI/AAAAAAAAJS0/xeE8CJPDiGsw5tp85w4ACf3xYtvLyXgCwCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0736.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Shweghna</div><br /></div></div>Shweghna Gursahaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646293237297149785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296887802832015310.post-43148720872863290392017-09-29T00:26:00.002-07:002017-09-29T02:53:41.293-07:00Durga Puja Special<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This time of the year is pretty exciting because it's the time when the festivities take place. One festival which has my attention this year is Durga Puja.<br />Durga Puja is a multi-day festival that marks the battle of goddess Durga with the shape-shifting buffalo demon Mahishasura and her emerging as victorious. The festival incorporates the victory of Good over Evil and is in part a harvest festival that marks the goddess as a motherly power behind all of life and creation. Inspired from Bongs and the women of Kolkata, I've compiled a look for Durga Puja. I really wanted to don a laal paar saree but it just couldn't work out. But the look I compiled came out really well.

I've had days when I felt jealous of every friend of mine who could watch a movie without giving a shit about some submission or about sticking to deadlines.<br />Those who know me also know this that I tend to take on 5 things at once without doing the aftermath. Thus, the feeling of jealousy. When I was in school, I had to juggle between school, blog and plethora internships. At that time, I believed that the good days will come when life will be easier and all of my focus will be on my blog. But, when I came in college, my internships became full time and the blog's workload grew. And as I mentioned in my previous post, this year I decided to do two colleges together (plus an internship and my brainchild- my blog). But don't for once believe that I don't enjoy all these things that I'm doing together. God forbid, if something was ought to happen and I <i>would </i>get enough free time, my boredom will end up killing me.<br />Maybe, I found my purpose way too soon but I won't have it any other way. Have you figured out your purpose? And if yes, what is it?<br /><br />And on a lighter note, here's this month's look by yours truly. This dress was love at first sight and since I didn't own something like this, I needed it in my closet.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EZ0FXqWKQRI/WclVkLtjqiI/AAAAAAAAGGk/Vg4hp0A0HdoWQ1WscbZuSulHB4j_MojWwCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0033-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EZ0FXqWKQRI/WclVkLtjqiI/AAAAAAAAGGk/Vg4hp0A0HdoWQ1WscbZuSulHB4j_MojWwCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0033-001.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D5TmF_iAiGA/WclVuB3T6eI/AAAAAAAAGGo/YogmvYF-0DYiKD3MIixQhntMlJS82EqSwCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0074.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D5TmF_iAiGA/WclVuB3T6eI/AAAAAAAAGGo/YogmvYF-0DYiKD3MIixQhntMlJS82EqSwCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0074.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EQd_WS3TsGE/WclXi0zX7_I/AAAAAAAAGG4/xwLJTAM2VwMcgLlDZXUHsq-v1xO-l54pQCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="970" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EQd_WS3TsGE/WclXi0zX7_I/AAAAAAAAGG4/xwLJTAM2VwMcgLlDZXUHsq-v1xO-l54pQCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0034.JPG" width="388" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Omob7Ck2WM/WclXfZvplrI/AAAAAAAAGG0/tmj0FN9-4KwxPa-jrvy27RleUHg490fHwCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0046.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1175" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Omob7Ck2WM/WclXfZvplrI/AAAAAAAAGG0/tmj0FN9-4KwxPa-jrvy27RleUHg490fHwCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0046.JPG" width="468" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h1Cw_f3Aoic/WclXxwc70WI/AAAAAAAAGG8/FK7dPaHLirIuy4ErqUuvHP7ViAPISYNoQCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0049.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="992" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h1Cw_f3Aoic/WclXxwc70WI/AAAAAAAAGG8/FK7dPaHLirIuy4ErqUuvHP7ViAPISYNoQCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0049.JPG" width="396" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UjL-KsicR6s/WclYMXGaxnI/AAAAAAAAGHA/KRBJ5nCltR8fg-Mze_Hk7UNl3XyTEqXqwCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_0078.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1108" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UjL-KsicR6s/WclYMXGaxnI/AAAAAAAAGHA/KRBJ5nCltR8fg-Mze_Hk7UNl3XyTEqXqwCLcBGAs/s640/DSC_0078.JPG" width="442" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Dress: Koovs; Shoes: Charles &amp; Keith</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Photography by:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/sharmakanika29/?hl=en" target="_blank">Kanika Sharma</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Shweghna.&nbsp;</div><br /></div>Shweghna Gursahaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646293237297149785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296887802832015310.post-31617883333436320212017-09-09T07:28:00.001-07:002017-09-10T02:17:50.651-07:00Key to Happiness<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Are you happy?<div>Like really, really happy?</div><div><br /></div><div>If you asked me this question a few months back, I would have probably said no. But if you ask me now, I will tell you that this is the happiest I've ever been. I am pursuing two courses parallelly- one is an undergraduate course from Amity University while the other is a diploma course from NIFT. Apart from that, I am freelancing and doing an internship. All my friends ask me, "how do you do it?" or tell me, "you're insane to be taking on so many things at once!" I usually don't have a reply to these things but I did consider not taking more on my plate until there was an opening in Cosmopolitan for a fashion intern. I gave the interview and got selected for the job but it couldn't work out because of juggling between two colleges. Now you guys have to understand that this was my DREAM JOB. I've always wanted to work there and there's nothing I wanted more than this. I even considered getting debarred in a few subjects to make everything work out but it just wasn't practical. I sulked for a day or two but eventually&nbsp;realized my worth. Even though the timing sucked, I was good enough for the job. I've made peace with it and I'm working as hard as I can to get there someday when the timing is not wrong.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>So to give my answer to the question which started this post, I am happy because I know my worth on the career front.

Everybody knew about this place even before its doors opened. This was because this bar wanted to create out of the simple concept of having a girls' club where you can either come and look ravishing with your girl friends or make new friends along with getting your hair done. They have mainly 8 hairstyles and all of them are named after cocktails (yes, you read it right!) The best part is that with every blow dryer, you get a complimentary mocktail/coffee.<br /><br />As soon as I took the stairs, I was greeted with pictures of family, friends and every other person who helped in making&nbsp;BloBar happen. My first thought about the place was that it is so pretty and neat (not something you usually find in other parlors). The space was big enough to accommodate 15-20 people and work on 8-9 people's hair at once.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JpStiyrDWUQ/WZNWEDmbAPI/AAAAAAAAF_o/rWyurP8Po5Up00R4HR7NKPSoi1hZ_ZnKgCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1909.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JpStiyrDWUQ/WZNWEDmbAPI/AAAAAAAAF_o/rWyurP8Po5Up00R4HR7NKPSoi1hZ_ZnKgCLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1909.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q7_bjGitYq4/WZNruaTV25I/AAAAAAAAGBI/fnHSqD19Zz0-EhKzuAaDYYq-mc7AqN1dACLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1945.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="425" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q7_bjGitYq4/WZNruaTV25I/AAAAAAAAGBI/fnHSqD19Zz0-EhKzuAaDYYq-mc7AqN1dACLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1945.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RJbv48SYcWM/WZNtOLPO02I/AAAAAAAAGBY/EwSjIlvSTSsLd11rm0kMT01YI0VnyGftgCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1942.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="425" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RJbv48SYcWM/WZNtOLPO02I/AAAAAAAAGBY/EwSjIlvSTSsLd11rm0kMT01YI0VnyGftgCLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1942.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1jhxdwQ6RXo/WZNdyHBDveI/AAAAAAAAF_4/tPbGqWTvZ28dnPqCYO1b_V5_aIiX6Q6UQCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1906-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1110" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1jhxdwQ6RXo/WZNdyHBDveI/AAAAAAAAF_4/tPbGqWTvZ28dnPqCYO1b_V5_aIiX6Q6UQCLcBGAs/s400/_DSC1906-001.JPG" width="276" /></a></div><br /><br />I had been wanting to pay the BloBar a visit ever since it opened but because of some thing or the other, I was never really able to go. After hearing tons about this place and seeing their work on my sister's hair, I was adamant to go here whenever I next wanted to get my hair done. The perfect opportunity came when I planned the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.trendymannequin.com/2017/08/dressing-up-for-work.html" target="_blank">Dressing Up for Work</a>&nbsp;shoot. On the day of the shoot, I canceled every other plan I had for the day and headed to the&nbsp;BloBar. Sargam, the owner of BloBar was super sweet. It's a good feeling when you feel welcomed at a place and she definitely nails it when it comes to hospitality. She chatted with me for a while and then asked Umair to take it forward from there.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6_mWTnTUzg8/WZNls5naGjI/AAAAAAAAGAs/E8dwjIvkCIUmG8iUP6cBa0WmJEJCqM-SQCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1938.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6_mWTnTUzg8/WZNls5naGjI/AAAAAAAAGAs/E8dwjIvkCIUmG8iUP6cBa0WmJEJCqM-SQCLcBGAs/s400/_DSC1938.JPG" width="266" /></a></div>Umair first washed my hair and then used conditioner. He made sure that my hair was fresh and perfectly prepped for the blow dryer. Before starting with the blow dryer, I walked him through the concept of my shoot. He suggested a few hairdos and we settled on keeping it simple but with&nbsp;volume&nbsp;on the crown section. He used hair spray to make my hair look heavy and used a round brush to give curls on the end. I told him that the shoot will take an entire evening so I want something that will stay. He worked beautifully and made sure that I got exactly what I asked for. While he was working on my hair, Umair gave me a few tips on what else I can do to take care of my hair. It took Umair just 15 minutes to do my blow dry my hair and the outcome was just breath taking!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tPISyzeixE0/WZNmbhJt2AI/AAAAAAAAGA0/N-jPzD-RMrcklDsDOABFVpm3PB5F6D-EwCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1966-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tPISyzeixE0/WZNmbhJt2AI/AAAAAAAAGA0/N-jPzD-RMrcklDsDOABFVpm3PB5F6D-EwCLcBGAs/s400/_DSC1966-001.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hUmak-FnxjI/WZNmczIIKEI/AAAAAAAAGA4/52U7NfsCBtkfki-IEtmnFbk51Nyi-yN1QCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1960-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hUmak-FnxjI/WZNmczIIKEI/AAAAAAAAGA4/52U7NfsCBtkfki-IEtmnFbk51Nyi-yN1QCLcBGAs/s400/_DSC1960-001.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I loved how beautiful my hair turned out after the process was completed.

Five days a week, she used to diligently get up at 6:30 AM, make food for the entire family and then spend the rest of her time in getting ready. On days when she wore a saree, her excitement was at epitome. But I looked forward to the days when she would don formals. Every time she took out one of the many trousers that she owned and paired it with a blazer, I told myself that this is exactly how I'll dress up for office when I start working.<br /><div>I recently got to implement the work mode look when I went to give an interview to NIFT for a short course. Although the interview was to get admission in that college and not for work, I felt I could try one of the looks that I saw my mom create for office. It turned out pretty well as I felt that I was authoritative (which is a damn good feeling if you're going to the best fashion college in India).</div><div>Also, as I cracked the interview, I think I'm going to always don formal wear to important events.

It's the only type of fashion which is constantly changing so don't be surprised if you pick something today and it is out of fashion, the next year. The ongoing contemporary fashion for me is something which is super comfortable yet stylish. People are now&nbsp;preferring clothes which don't require much effort but are stunning.<div>This fashion includes culottes, espadrilles, bomber jackets, or tops with heavy shoulders or flares and ruffles (another trend which is gaining popularity).&nbsp;</div><div>The top that I'm featuring in this post is the best example of contemporary fashion. It is so voluminous and detailed that you'll end up getting everybody's attention. Oh, and I wore the same outfit to one of the days of the India Couture Week and many people stopped and praised me for the look I created.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-52VCn1vxGaM/WXyMZzrjz4I/AAAAAAAAF6Y/VQai6Jj5lX8qelZqPwzyvzWWS-qEWk_gwCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1608.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1139" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-52VCn1vxGaM/WXyMZzrjz4I/AAAAAAAAF6Y/VQai6Jj5lX8qelZqPwzyvzWWS-qEWk_gwCLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1608.JPG" width="454" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UnIxm3Flrws/WXyMkirmZtI/AAAAAAAAF6c/RDB9piQdioY_T0jn0aoDo8hZgju8J18iACLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1584.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UnIxm3Flrws/WXyMkirmZtI/AAAAAAAAF6c/RDB9piQdioY_T0jn0aoDo8hZgju8J18iACLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1584.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jloF1feKoJg/WXyMltTP_SI/AAAAAAAAF6g/vQZkv6TbQCsIyrKUTDVidpxyyy_l5vvtgCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1595.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jloF1feKoJg/WXyMltTP_SI/AAAAAAAAF6g/vQZkv6TbQCsIyrKUTDVidpxyyy_l5vvtgCLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1595.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w2XHoNSiA24/WXyM0pK57VI/AAAAAAAAF6k/ZCkQpLJlhlAEHez7kzdF1ta-sbuf58JoQCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1586.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w2XHoNSiA24/WXyM0pK57VI/AAAAAAAAF6k/ZCkQpLJlhlAEHez7kzdF1ta-sbuf58JoQCLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1586.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BicF9wnHH5w/WXyNUMNov-I/AAAAAAAAF6s/cljiGKIZwosR_gnSOF-sVSoQwMPU5HHZACLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1597.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BicF9wnHH5w/WXyNUMNov-I/AAAAAAAAF6s/cljiGKIZwosR_gnSOF-sVSoQwMPU5HHZACLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1597.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ypy4DsC4Hh8/WXyNZMlRIpI/AAAAAAAAF6w/8ajgoAKoj8geeqMU6VFOjA4pfRvmc-sRwCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1600.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ypy4DsC4Hh8/WXyNZMlRIpI/AAAAAAAAF6w/8ajgoAKoj8geeqMU6VFOjA4pfRvmc-sRwCLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1600.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Top: Fashion Exhibition</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Skirt: Zara</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Heels: Marks &amp; Spencer</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On a lighter note, you must have noticed that I got another tattoo made.

While I had my eyes on most of the silhouettes, there were many which didn't match my palate (like the green and the burgundy ones).

As it was my first Shyamal &amp; Bhumika show, my excitement was beyond words. I have been an ardent follower of the brand since quite some years now but getting to watch their creations live is one hell of an experience.<br /><br />With my camera in hand, I was ready for The Princess's Soiree Couture Collection. As soon as the lights came on, 9-10 models were seen happily chatting to each other. They had donned glamorous clothes in the shades of gold.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h2ASTrmpiV8/WXsZFXA2K0I/AAAAAAAAF4c/IrWM6HYQXC8_Qx83PsTkPy_1iUQh7_cKwCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1624-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1154" data-original-width="1600" height="460" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h2ASTrmpiV8/WXsZFXA2K0I/AAAAAAAAF4c/IrWM6HYQXC8_Qx83PsTkPy_1iUQh7_cKwCLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1624-001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PMjdWBTq-Hs/WXsZfZVVJqI/AAAAAAAAF4g/mrfAtUo44gcFniciKSr73fSnd-jXjP9DgCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1627.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PMjdWBTq-Hs/WXsZfZVVJqI/AAAAAAAAF4g/mrfAtUo44gcFniciKSr73fSnd-jXjP9DgCLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1627.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The collection tells a story of the modern day bride who is celebrating life through her clothes.

Some of the outfits took my breath away like the one with the heavy work on the shoulders or the flowy gown which give a fairytale feel.

Right before the declaration of the GST, all online websites went on sale. And not any sale but the sale of the century. I don't think I've ever shopped so much in two days.<br />The one maxi dress which I came across during the sale was from Ajio. They had a huge variety to choose from and that maxi seemed just perfect. I ordered it instantly and I just had to wear it and post pictures on the blog. No reason at all. Also, I'm investing a lot of money on maxis because there's pretty much nothing which is comfortable enough in this weather of Delhi (I know, many can relate).<br />Oh, and the pictures were taken at this adorable cafe in Saket called the <i>Soho Cafe</i>. Their interiors are very homely and comforting and the food is lip smacking!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ePKQ2XHjOeQ/WWIeTvKgC_I/AAAAAAAAF1w/CoEmntVPcWoGavjRQReuRcanLZI0O52ngCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1495.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ePKQ2XHjOeQ/WWIeTvKgC_I/AAAAAAAAF1w/CoEmntVPcWoGavjRQReuRcanLZI0O52ngCLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1495.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9fy_aVUWYao/WWIgZrUe8KI/AAAAAAAAF2A/TAQyEFb83xIWW4zXkVtiqMKN8Wk4tf4rACLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1499.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9fy_aVUWYao/WWIgZrUe8KI/AAAAAAAAF2A/TAQyEFb83xIWW4zXkVtiqMKN8Wk4tf4rACLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1499.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hNG1I4Ihlwc/WWIeP0YQ7uI/AAAAAAAAF1s/gBxeeigWukQUXMeqz9vzqd_MFDSug3X1ACLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1502.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1261" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hNG1I4Ihlwc/WWIeP0YQ7uI/AAAAAAAAF1s/gBxeeigWukQUXMeqz9vzqd_MFDSug3X1ACLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1502.JPG" width="504" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qM0dQr47YH4/WWIeWkjFtkI/AAAAAAAAF10/J94eVnkm-ikTgmnDB2Xm2rDeen8cGI1CwCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1506.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qM0dQr47YH4/WWIeWkjFtkI/AAAAAAAAF10/J94eVnkm-ikTgmnDB2Xm2rDeen8cGI1CwCLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1506.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YuQzQhu4C9k/WWIerD-bGNI/AAAAAAAAF14/7oYsU2O_cB8xUUnorNNymsO_SI_5Q_sCgCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1501.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="945" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YuQzQhu4C9k/WWIerD-bGNI/AAAAAAAAF14/7oYsU2O_cB8xUUnorNNymsO_SI_5Q_sCgCLcBGAs/s640/_DSC1501.JPG" width="378" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>-Shweghna.</i></div><br /></div>Shweghna Gursahaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646293237297149785noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296887802832015310.post-49035314296450112242017-06-10T23:28:00.000-07:002017-06-13T04:25:22.367-07:00I Got Inked and Here's Why! <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The thought of getting a tattoo made, first came across my mind right after my boards. I had just got out of school and the sky was the limit for me. I wanted to try every crazy thing I could think of back then. But the thought of getting inked soon got pushed back, somewhere inside my brain and I forgot about it in no time. You see, getting inked at that point of time, was just to try something new. It was the "new cool" for me. Up until last year, I didn't realize how important a step it was. I took months to decide the tattoo I wanted and for that, I went through a million images to decide the correct size and design.<br />Some of my friends tried to talk me out of it while some simply gave the green signal. The ones who were against it, did give a fair argument. However, I was adamant to get a tattoo made.<br />Those who've kept up with my Instagram page know that the first tattoo I got made was months ago. I didn't do a post on it because my experience was pretty bad. I got it made from the wrong place and imagine, it faded after only a week. After that I'd lost all hopes of getting inked again.<br />Until now.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hArauEHg-dc/WTwJdJVTs9I/AAAAAAAAFzg/1iuz7POOK7MccHlamtPaHcG_TWCDOAm1ACLcB/s1600/_DSC1430.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1132" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hArauEHg-dc/WTwJdJVTs9I/AAAAAAAAFzg/1iuz7POOK7MccHlamtPaHcG_TWCDOAm1ACLcB/s640/_DSC1430.JPG" width="452" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><i>My Experience:</i></b></div>I had my doubts after that but because I had to get another tattoo made, I researched extensively and talked to a lot of people who had their bodies covered with tattoos. Finally after loads of consultations, I went with&nbsp;<a href="http://www.inkinn.com/" target="_blank">The Inkinn Tattoo Studio</a>, situated in Defence Colony.<br />As soon as I reached the second floor, an orange and white cat greeted me after which I no longer felt jittery (lucky for me that I'm obsessed with cats!). My tattoo artist Jasmer was more than willing to clear all queries before the procedure started. He even made me sign a form which I hadn't at the previous tattoo studio (felt like a complete idiot at that moment). He chose the correct size for me and told me to stay calm. After six months, I found myself, again seated on a tattoo artist's chair but this time with confidence. I'm so scared of needles that I could feel the blood vessels pumping in various parts of my body but in about 15 minutes, my tattoo was done and dusted.&nbsp;Jasmer paid painstaking attention on the details. According to him, that's the most important part of a tattoo; getting the details correct and I completely agree with him on this!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6yD74uuqZL0/WTwJ5kEhkZI/AAAAAAAAFzo/ZVwnkK5B140WMkgBBPGDaAF5iZyBF1TZgCLcB/s1600/_DSC1435.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6yD74uuqZL0/WTwJ5kEhkZI/AAAAAAAAFzo/ZVwnkK5B140WMkgBBPGDaAF5iZyBF1TZgCLcB/s640/_DSC1435.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--sYumAGXCLY/WTwJwbxEoiI/AAAAAAAAFz0/K7FyivC_0gM0vjRNKkuN3MIpeVDoaDrjQCEw/s1600/_DSC1441.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="993" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--sYumAGXCLY/WTwJwbxEoiI/AAAAAAAAFz0/K7FyivC_0gM0vjRNKkuN3MIpeVDoaDrjQCEw/s640/_DSC1441.JPG" width="396" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="text-align: left;">What I Got Made:</b></div><b style="font-style: italic;">Semicolon Tattoo:&nbsp;</b>The tattoo may seem small but it has a deep meaning which many are not aware of. A semicolon is used when an author could've chosen to end the sentence, but chose not to. You are the author and the sentence is your life. It is a beautiful tattoo which gives you strength and courage.<br /><b>Birds Tattoo:&nbsp;</b>Birds symbolize freedom of the human spirit or the soul. Birds are not bound to anybody.

Once you've decided on that, the printout will be used to trace the tattoo. Then the action begins. Getting a tattoo made is a time consuming and painful process. Blood might also assemble on the area where you're getting the tattoo made (luckily, not in my case). And as the tattoo is pierced till four layers of our skin out of seven, it takes about 15-30 days for the tattoo to get healed. In these days, bid goodbyes to perfume, beach, shampoo, soap and the sun for as long as you can. I was also told to apply <i>Johnson's Baby Oil</i>, twice a day. Once the dead skin is peeled off, the tattoo will settle and the color will come out just right.<br /><br /><b>Don't Forget These Things:</b><br /><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Remember that a tattoo stays with you forever so you can't just wake up one morning and decide to get inked.&nbsp;</li><li>Your tattoo will speak for you. You WILL get judged because of it. When I got a semicolon made, people were curious to know about my past and what had happened.&nbsp;</li><li>Research about the right tattoo place and consult people who have tattoos on their body. I highly recommend Inkinn as my tattoo turned out to be exactly what I wanted.&nbsp;</li><li>Avoid your loved one's name, anniversary date and identical tattoos. Don't mean to sound rude but you can never be certain of the future with people. And, I've heard that the process of getting a tattoo removed is not very pleasant.&nbsp;</li><li>Do NOT scratch. If your tattoo is in the healing process, you'll end up ruining it by scratching or rubbing it too hard. You have to be very careful with the tattoo. Treat it like a new born baby (no kidding).&nbsp;</li></ul><br /><b><br /></b><b>Inkinn Tattoo Studio</b><br /><i><b>Address </b>|&nbsp;S-5, Second Floor, B-87, Defence Colony, Near South Ex Flyover, New Delhi - 110024</i><br /><i><b>Phone No.</b> | 9910236996</i><br /><i><br /></i><i>-Shweghna.&nbsp;</i></div>Shweghna Gursahaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646293237297149785noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296887802832015310.post-33073406174084416062017-05-29T05:14:00.000-07:002017-05-30T08:09:02.316-07:00Head to Bir for a Life Changing Travel Experience!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Travelling to Bir, Himachal Pradesh was something my sister and I had been planning, since months. As soon as my exams ended, we packed our bags, booked our tickets and headed to the bus station to catch an overnight bus till Palampur. We left from our house feeling proud because we didn't forget anything but the one thing which we didn't keep a check on, was the time. After reaching the bus station we were frantically running everywhere to find our bus. Being the clumsy girl that I am, I even managed to fall badly and bruise my knees. But in the end, we tracked down the bus and everything worked out for us.<br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QDl5WEsqWIQ/WSVfYb53aVI/AAAAAAAAFuQ/ctss_HcgP6ILLG8tLzZbB9iElGB2EZYrQCLcB/s1600/IMG_20170514_190337-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="832" data-original-width="1600" height="332" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QDl5WEsqWIQ/WSVfYb53aVI/AAAAAAAAFuQ/ctss_HcgP6ILLG8tLzZbB9iElGB2EZYrQCLcB/s640/IMG_20170514_190337-001.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><br /></div></div><div><b><i>How to Reach</i></b></div><div>We took a cab from Palampur to Bir and it took us 45 minutes to reach but if you're planning to go from Delhi, you can take a bus. On the way back, we took the <i>Himsulta Volvo</i> from upper Bir and the bus dropped us to <i>I.S.B.T Kashmiri Gate. </i>From Delhi to Bir it will take you approximately 12 hours in the bus. I would suggest, take an overnight bus because you won't get to know where the time passed. The bus stops at every station for 5 minutes and at three to four places for dinner/lunch/breakfast and tea breaks.<br /><br /><b><i>You can get your tickets booked at-<a href="http://www.hrtchp.com/hrtctickets/" target="_blank">http://www.hrtchp.com/hrtctickets/</a></i></b><br /><b><br /></b><br /><b><i>Where We Stayed</i></b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HeXecfaOQ1Q/WSlg6mpAa9I/AAAAAAAAFug/aQ2G12se_QEv5mdQH6aDO01lO_iDObi3QCLcB/s1600/_DSC0955.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HeXecfaOQ1Q/WSlg6mpAa9I/AAAAAAAAFug/aQ2G12se_QEv5mdQH6aDO01lO_iDObi3QCLcB/s400/_DSC0955.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Colonel's Resort was the resort where I stayed for three days. As soon as I entered, I fell in love with the property. The resort has an overlooking view of the mountains and so much of greenery that you'll feel like staying outside the entire time.&nbsp;The resort has 15 rooms, tents for camping, a dining area with a verandah, a yoga room and a huge parking space.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t-jBgYZRJUM/WSm4cZA32wI/AAAAAAAAFvE/mdky0AznS6gWrf229X02gu3XQbIrIswEwCLcB/s1600/_DSC1396-003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1345" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t-jBgYZRJUM/WSm4cZA32wI/AAAAAAAAFvE/mdky0AznS6gWrf229X02gu3XQbIrIswEwCLcB/s320/_DSC1396-003.JPG" width="268" /></a></div><br /><br />What took my heart away was the adorable pets of the resort. This one is a three year old <i>Cocker Spaniel</i> called <i>Dash. </i>For those who don't know this about me, I'm a hardcore cat lover but by the end of three days, I became very fond of <i>Dash. </i>I used to start my day by playing with him and sleep, only after I had spent a good amount of time with him.<br />Apart from <i>Dash</i>, <i>Colonel's Resort</i> is home to a <i>Labrador </i>called<i> Frisky </i>and two horses named <i>Namta and Noorie. </i>Oh, and I'm pretty sure I spotted some exotic species of worms and birds right outside my room.<br />One can easily pass his time in this resort by playing with these animals. They give so much of love to a person that you'll completely forget all of your problems.<br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DA7TLGqWy4w/WSnA6lCYe0I/AAAAAAAAFvk/AEvh7N97svAG_2ybrYRoscHPikCYCsM7wCLcB/s1600/_DSC0908.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1036" data-original-width="1600" height="206" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DA7TLGqWy4w/WSnA6lCYe0I/AAAAAAAAFvk/AEvh7N97svAG_2ybrYRoscHPikCYCsM7wCLcB/s320/_DSC0908.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br />Food at Colonel's Resort was lip smacking. If you're diet conscious or a sucker for homely food, this is the place for you. For breakfast, we had a variety of dishes to eat like cereal, omelette, scrambled eggs (MUST HAVE!), cold coffee, juice and freshly cooked paranthas. For dinner on one night, we were served chicken, kadai paneer, mixed vegetables, rice, mushroom &amp; peas and beetroot pickle.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8Y488ZsUGFY/WSwOGshHEKI/AAAAAAAAFyo/6JXSna0APyQS79LpA0PRajpbirvUzLz9wCLcB/s1600/IMG_20170514_140251.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1264" data-original-width="1600" height="315" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8Y488ZsUGFY/WSwOGshHEKI/AAAAAAAAFyo/6JXSna0APyQS79LpA0PRajpbirvUzLz9wCLcB/s400/IMG_20170514_140251.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CjDjANdqIfQ/WSwOyLA6dvI/AAAAAAAAFyw/JkCblHkUIW0jIyxNE_6oILiwtm3gvrl9wCLcB/s1600/_DSC1338.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CjDjANdqIfQ/WSwOyLA6dvI/AAAAAAAAFyw/JkCblHkUIW0jIyxNE_6oILiwtm3gvrl9wCLcB/s1600/_DSC1338.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CjDjANdqIfQ/WSwOyLA6dvI/AAAAAAAAFyw/JkCblHkUIW0jIyxNE_6oILiwtm3gvrl9wCLcB/s1600/_DSC1338.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="265" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CjDjANdqIfQ/WSwOyLA6dvI/AAAAAAAAFyw/JkCblHkUIW0jIyxNE_6oILiwtm3gvrl9wCLcB/s400/_DSC1338.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Book your rooms now-&nbsp;<a href="http://www.colonelsresort.com/" target="_blank">http://www.colonelsresort.com/</a></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Room charges- INR 4400 (breakfast included); INR 5500 (all meals included)</i></div><br /><b><i>What to do there:</i></b><br /><b>Paragliding (A MUST!)</b><br />Paragliding on the first day was not planned because one never knows the direction of wind in Bir. Our luck worked because when my sister and I were right in the middle of finishing a tasty red sauce pasta, we got a call from colonel, asking us to come back to the hotel so we could experience paragliding.<br />We were driven down till the paragliding point which was <i>14 km</i>&nbsp;from the resort. The ride was pretty bumpy because our driver was in his full form to make us reach on u but it was totally worth it. With my sister's jokes on how we won't come out alive and the butterflies fluttering in my stomach, we hardly got to know when the ride ended. The first glance of the paragliding point was breathtaking. Mountains and mountains could be spotted along with 10-15 parachutes getting prepared for the flight. Some of the crowd who were going to do this adventurous activity were getting their pictures clicked while the others were taking off in the sky like it was no biggie. I, on the other hand was just concerned about my take off since I'm known to be clumsy just at the right time.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JElfdspVrec/WSuzkUdDiBI/AAAAAAAAFw0/USWHMAH1Pcw86lFkx3fKoCga7Jnd-N6lwCLcB/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="597" data-original-width="878" height="434" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JElfdspVrec/WSuzkUdDiBI/AAAAAAAAFw0/USWHMAH1Pcw86lFkx3fKoCga7Jnd-N6lwCLcB/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><b>How it's done-</b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4Sj_WmEfu2Y/WSuzqdKF_UI/AAAAAAAAFw4/fvHNfGqt9ZwnrtUzGWdPTcBgcnS0gB62ACLcB/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="613" data-original-width="346" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4Sj_WmEfu2Y/WSuzqdKF_UI/AAAAAAAAFw4/fvHNfGqt9ZwnrtUzGWdPTcBgcnS0gB62ACLcB/s400/2.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><br />You're made to wear a bag which later turns into a chair in the sky along with a helmet. Those who want a Go Pro can get one on the rent to record the experience. We got two on rent (suckers for creating memories) and got all decked up for what lied head.<br />After you're all set and the wind direction is right, you are supposed to run as fast as you can along with your pilot who will be with you in the sky to make sure that you don't die. Run till the time you see nothing but the end of the cliff. This is the toughest part but after 10 seconds you'll get through and be in the sky like a bird.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FbyH2wrdads/WSu0HQaTEBI/AAAAAAAAFw8/P7hJsUhsRggGZpLUuey-v5k8ldaf5jUlwCLcB/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="613" data-original-width="460" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FbyH2wrdads/WSu0HQaTEBI/AAAAAAAAFw8/P7hJsUhsRggGZpLUuey-v5k8ldaf5jUlwCLcB/s400/3.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>All those who asked me about my experience got the same reply. Paragliding for me as simple as breathing and so exhilarating that I can still feel the chills when I think about it. Once you're in the sky, you feel as free as a bird. On my right, the sun was setting and the sky had three colors, mainly pink, purple and yellow mixing together, forming a skyline one can only dream of. On my left were mountains and clouds with the sky in the color of blue. Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it? I was in the sky for precisely 13 minutes and in those minutes, I felt a mix of emotions. Life changing will be an understatement for the experience I had.<br />My landing was nice as my pilot was very helpful and had told me what exactly to do.<br /><br /><div><br /><b>Vist the Monasteries:</b><br />For those who do not know what a monastery is, it is a place of residence where monks live in seclusion. They eat, study and pray there. Bir has so many beautiful monasteries that missing them out will be a shame. The prettiest out of the lot for was the Nyingma Monastery. See for yourself how pretty everything was. From the pillars of this monastery to the benches, the place was a burst of colors.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-asj8nxH8izo/WSu4fAKKpLI/AAAAAAAAFxU/8yEXg7H8kAkPpzgA56s6xqPAODFExmJLQCLcB/s1600/Bir.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1108" data-original-width="1600" height="442" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-asj8nxH8izo/WSu4fAKKpLI/AAAAAAAAFxU/8yEXg7H8kAkPpzgA56s6xqPAODFExmJLQCLcB/s640/Bir.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><b>Tibetan Market:</b><br />Everything in Bir is nearby so you can walk to the Tibetan market with ease. The market consists of authentic Tibetan restaurants, local parlours, cafes, clothing shops and I'm pretty sure I saw a shop selling dream catchers there. When in the Tibetan market, do dine in one of the authentic local restaurants if you're game for trying on some Tibetan food. (Something you won't find in Delhi)<br />Once there, you can order Thenthuk, Shabaley (my personal favorite), Thukpa etc. We also had about hundred of momos!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8fvzRD6NImo/WSu9avTfPJI/AAAAAAAAFxw/r4t1JwLRWFE2l0NXdnO34353UafXSF7DwCLcB/s1600/Desktop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8fvzRD6NImo/WSu9avTfPJI/AAAAAAAAFxw/r4t1JwLRWFE2l0NXdnO34353UafXSF7DwCLcB/s640/Desktop.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Where to Eat:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've eaten A LOT in Bir.

But then I hit the phase when after trying makeup just one time, I couldn't let go of it. Now for somebody like me who has heavy bags under her eyes at all times, using a concealer is must. After trying on a million concealers, I came across the L.A. Girl Pro Concealer. While ordering this brand from Nykaa I was pretty skeptical because I had never used it before but I really liked the packaging and the size of the concealer, so I confirmed my order anyway.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-slldsvIU6WY/WSVIhMOMGsI/AAAAAAAAFts/nmVb-NwPodgQ5idHciE7u33N2UjWK11SQCLcB/s1600/_DSC1251-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-slldsvIU6WY/WSVIhMOMGsI/AAAAAAAAFts/nmVb-NwPodgQ5idHciE7u33N2UjWK11SQCLcB/s400/_DSC1251-001.JPG" width="266" /></a></div>The process to use it is pretty simple-<br />All you have to do is give the bottle a little squeeze and instantly some amount of concealer will come out on the brush. Gently apply some amount of it on the needed areas like the under eye, forehead, upper lips etc.<br />Some people also use it on their neck to even the skin tone but I just find it super weird to use the concealer on any place except the face.<br />L.A. Girl's concealer brush is pretty soft and smooth so the concealer can be applied very easily. And spreading it on the face is no task as it's texture is creamy.<br />I'ts very important to use a good primer before applying this concealer otherwise the effect won't be visible. Make sure that after applying the concealer, you're blending it properly otherwise you'll end up looking like a jaundice patient. (The experience my sister and I had the first time we used it!)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fBDf3tvnoiY/WSVKMyV_STI/AAAAAAAAFt4/OD4nK-3q0ZQ4cez3SgRh2iX4KtQMwp7eQCLcB/s1600/_DSC1215.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fBDf3tvnoiY/WSVKMyV_STI/AAAAAAAAFt4/OD4nK-3q0ZQ4cez3SgRh2iX4KtQMwp7eQCLcB/s400/_DSC1215.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><br />The process to use it is pretty simple.

Last time I bought a shade lighter than my skin tone, I ended up looking like a ghost. Warm Honey was the perfect choice because all the lines and uneven color was gone, giving my face the texture I always wanted. I'm hooked to this concealer now and you will be too once you use it!<br />There are 24 shades in the Pro Concealer so no matter which skin tone you have, you <i>will</i> find the right concealer.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Price- INR 535</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Get it now-&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nykaa.com/l-a-girl-pro-conceal-hd.html?root=brand&amp;ptype=product&amp;id=40862&amp;nav_path=brands_l-a-girl&amp;skuId=40876" target="_blank">http://www.nykaa.com/l-a-girl-pro-conceal-hd</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">-Shweghna.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div>Shweghna Gursahaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646293237297149785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296887802832015310.post-63330539210333298152017-05-18T09:44:00.000-07:002017-05-18T22:34:14.888-07:00The Face Shop Brightening Face Mask Review<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">To be honest with you all, I've never been a lover of face masks. I feel a face pack is much better than a face mask as you can choose the quantity. But one evening while I was adding makeup to my cart on <i>Nykaa,</i> I saw the brand- <i>The Face Shop</i> listed in the top brands. After reading all the reviews and stalking the brand's official Instagram page, (background knowledge is everything) I added their <i>Brightening Face Mask</i> to my cart.<br /><br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Thevz4tabGI/WRx6eZCsxFI/AAAAAAAAFr0/KKtiVBE3vtAN_v53xGDbeKZZULpgwcHIwCLcB/s1600/face%2Bshop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Thevz4tabGI/WRx6eZCsxFI/AAAAAAAAFr0/KKtiVBE3vtAN_v53xGDbeKZZULpgwcHIwCLcB/s640/face%2Bshop.jpg" width="459" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Price- Rs. 150</i></div></div><div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8nLFctcJVXE/WR3JJDwqJvI/AAAAAAAAFsU/4mlQY--K1IkRUqoIjnPfAu_Jin6IgjJYwCLcB/s1600/_DSC1308.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8nLFctcJVXE/WR3JJDwqJvI/AAAAAAAAFsU/4mlQY--K1IkRUqoIjnPfAu_Jin6IgjJYwCLcB/s400/_DSC1308.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><br /><div>Every time I shop online, I have this excited feeling going on till the time I don't get my products. It's not just there when I'm trying something new but also when I'm ordering things that I use everyday. After ordering the face mask, I was literally running towards the door every time I heard the doorbell ring.&nbsp;</div><div>When the product arrived, it was rolled in bubble wrap. Next morning, I evened my skin tone by using a toner after which I tore the package and put the face mask on my face. The smell of this face mask resembled that of the shampoo my hair cutter uses every time I pay him a visit. Because this face mask smells so good, you will want to put it on your face again and again.&nbsp;</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2CK1DSrku0k/WR3J77UVBvI/AAAAAAAAFsg/X202lM8Y8SQ-uc9WD37Sj5lOeGYFJNhWACLcB/s1600/_DSC1334.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2CK1DSrku0k/WR3J77UVBvI/AAAAAAAAFsg/X202lM8Y8SQ-uc9WD37Sj5lOeGYFJNhWACLcB/s400/_DSC1334.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />The process is pretty simple. All you have to do is peel the film off and then spread the mask on your face. Adjust it properly from the eyes to the nose. Keep it like that for 10-20 minutes and then tap lightly to absorb the leftovers of the mask<br />I could see the difference on my face right away. All the uneven texture was gone and my face had suddenly lit up. Oh, and on the plus side, my face smelled SO good after that. The face mask made me feel fresh and love my face. This is a must try for all those who feel that dirt and dust stick on their faces, every time they step out of the house.<br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><i>Get this face mask now from-&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nykaa.com/the-face-shop-the-solution-brightening-face-mask.html?&amp;ptype=product&amp;id=110302" target="_blank">http://www.nykaa.com/the-face-shop/</a></i><br /><br /><br />-Shweghna.<br /><br /></div></div></div>Shweghna Gursahaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646293237297149785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296887802832015310.post-90965513634629888342017-04-28T04:50:00.001-07:002017-04-28T04:52:03.670-07:00TMxNityaBajaj- The One from the Equine Collection<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">If you're an ardent follower of Indian designers who are killing it with their designs, then you must know about Nitya Bajaj's recently launched collection- Equine. Previewed at the India Showcase Week which took place at the Roseate, Aerocity, this collection of Nitya Bajaj gained so much of media coverage that the updates from this show was all I could see on my social media platforms for a whole week. (And mind you, I follow a LOT of publications/media houses)<br /><br />Who wouldn't adore this collection?<br />After all, it has prints of horses, hoofs and bows. Oh, and did you spot the flares, the lace work and the bows on the neck!? I went nuts over this collection and watching videos of the stunning Divya Khosla Kumar, walking in these adorable clothes was the cherry on top for me.<br />A fun and flirty line, this is the pocket friendly collection you wouldn't wanna miss.<br /><br />Here's what I loved from the entire collection-<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pv7E98g9S5A/WQMnB03jrgI/AAAAAAAAFn8/QBZXaqbum1wT6rzKBeYVgPe8a6n9v7B6gCLcB/s1600/_DSC0468-002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pv7E98g9S5A/WQMnB03jrgI/AAAAAAAAFn8/QBZXaqbum1wT6rzKBeYVgPe8a6n9v7B6gCLcB/s640/_DSC0468-002.JPG" width="414" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Adpl644w2h0/WQMpMCzNqYI/AAAAAAAAFoQ/rclcuwnD64wQnv4ZrxFBA8B9BHJgT061gCLcB/s1600/_DSC0421.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Adpl644w2h0/WQMpMCzNqYI/AAAAAAAAFoQ/rclcuwnD64wQnv4ZrxFBA8B9BHJgT061gCLcB/s640/_DSC0421.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_1ISzoVB5_g/WQMpotGs4YI/AAAAAAAAFoU/ciCf9O6qSuQ37EA3-Tw_cQvBSnj52hvuACLcB/s1600/_DSC0516.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_1ISzoVB5_g/WQMpotGs4YI/AAAAAAAAFoU/ciCf9O6qSuQ37EA3-Tw_cQvBSnj52hvuACLcB/s640/_DSC0516.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z5AfosmBtVk/WQMm0GfgNfI/AAAAAAAAFn4/j6Pz4F3v0wgm9JI67URV7x-kG_vMiU4CACLcB/s1600/_DSC0468-003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z5AfosmBtVk/WQMm0GfgNfI/AAAAAAAAFn4/j6Pz4F3v0wgm9JI67URV7x-kG_vMiU4CACLcB/s640/_DSC0468-003.jpg" width="438" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_QSXUZ-5l3g/WQMnF0wD4MI/AAAAAAAAFoA/HtC2EH3u9rkjs4KnxwKFLXfAGn7wnV5BACLcB/s1600/_DSC0456.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_QSXUZ-5l3g/WQMnF0wD4MI/AAAAAAAAFoA/HtC2EH3u9rkjs4KnxwKFLXfAGn7wnV5BACLcB/s640/_DSC0456.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-74DjYrsNd8c/WQMnTTP5L9I/AAAAAAAAFoE/drnnFc6Uyi40MJZtxoqcsuZe-t2DQ4-7QCLcB/s1600/_DSC0441.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-74DjYrsNd8c/WQMnTTP5L9I/AAAAAAAAFoE/drnnFc6Uyi40MJZtxoqcsuZe-t2DQ4-7QCLcB/s640/_DSC0441.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Peplum top- Nitya Bajaj</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Trousers- Wills Lifestyle</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Heels- Marks &amp; Spencers</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Briefcase- Hemant &amp; Nandita&nbsp;</i></div><i><br /></i><i><br /></i>This white peplum wrap around shirt was my favorite from the Equine Collection.

It was a known fact that Disney was soon going to collaborate with Koovs but I was completely unaware of when the collection was going to be live. I must have woken up from the correct side of the bed because that morning the Disney's collaboration with Koovs lied in front of me!<div>All the 90s kids would understand my level of excitement right now. (Literally had to rewrite the post because of too many typos!)</div><div>I've been a sucker for Disney ever since I started watching the television. More than Telly Tubbies, my life revolved around the love story of Micky Mouse and Minnie Mouse. When my mom used to leave for her office, she would wake me up after which, the entire day, my eyes would be glued to the Disney Channel until she came back in the evening. So when I saw the collection live on Koovs, it was but natural that I would lose my cool and add a few pieces from the collection.&nbsp;</div><div>One of the things that I ordered was a monochrome printed bodycon dress. The day it came, I couldn't let go of it and literally slept hugging it. (Yes, I love my clothes too much)</div><div>To all the 90s kids, this blog post is for you guys!&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TVONu5pI-_E/WPxMamgjqBI/AAAAAAAAFmw/LUBMN9Bvo54pvReW_TkIifi7Zszl0kb5gCLcB/s1600/_DSC0511.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TVONu5pI-_E/WPxMamgjqBI/AAAAAAAAFmw/LUBMN9Bvo54pvReW_TkIifi7Zszl0kb5gCLcB/s640/_DSC0511.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2cc1zyyj9CE/WPxMXE5thUI/AAAAAAAAFmo/HOWFDTz3SCkIhRb01ubavqG9JjPY0EaWQCLcB/s1600/_DSC0495-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2cc1zyyj9CE/WPxMXE5thUI/AAAAAAAAFmo/HOWFDTz3SCkIhRb01ubavqG9JjPY0EaWQCLcB/s640/_DSC0495-001.JPG" width="462" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iM0KbKYeUbA/WPxMaYchywI/AAAAAAAAFms/wP6om8pwEck0DLkFYoOsDJFjAG-054iDwCLcB/s1600/_DSC0495.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="560" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iM0KbKYeUbA/WPxMaYchywI/AAAAAAAAFms/wP6om8pwEck0DLkFYoOsDJFjAG-054iDwCLcB/s640/_DSC0495.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bw8JZBkxuWs/WPxM-ytyhhI/AAAAAAAAFm4/_seOulkAuO08jYrh7t3fD4wJPu_s0i58ACLcB/s1600/_DSC0484.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bw8JZBkxuWs/WPxM-ytyhhI/AAAAAAAAFm4/_seOulkAuO08jYrh7t3fD4wJPu_s0i58ACLcB/s640/_DSC0484.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lz937HtU084/WPxM_wVj-OI/AAAAAAAAFm8/PUb7_ULzXU0pdqlO97XHlxBm0BLqtGXHQCLcB/s1600/_DSC0514.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lz937HtU084/WPxM_wVj-OI/AAAAAAAAFm8/PUb7_ULzXU0pdqlO97XHlxBm0BLqtGXHQCLcB/s640/_DSC0514.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If your level of excitement got as high as mine had, stock your closet with DisneyXKoovs collection now-&nbsp;<a href="http://www.koovs.com/info/disneyxkoovs" target="_blank">http://www.koovs.com/disneyxkoovs</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Shweghna.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Shweghna Gursahaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646293237297149785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296887802832015310.post-52461700105600552742017-04-22T03:57:00.001-07:002017-04-22T04:12:30.344-07:00Product Review | Nykaa SKINGenius Compact<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">My first encounter with a compact was when my best friend forcibly put some on my face, years back. After that incident, I switched to compacts but always stayed loyal to Chambor. Recently, Nykaa launched their own range of Skin Genius Compacts. This range contains three shades- <i>Natural Ivory, Warm Honey, Rose Beige.&nbsp;</i><br />When I first saw the collection on Nykaa's website, I fell in love with their packaging. For heaven's sake, they had a separate compartment for the compact and a separate one for the blender. (Something which nobody can say no to!) The next thing I knew- I was adding the shade <i>Rose Beige 02&nbsp;</i>to the cart and placing the order.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOp_q6tGmqs/WPs6hbcOfOI/AAAAAAAAFl0/c_NmrbWkfqsqIHlT7tNshJlKvjVBfz3NACLcB/s1600/IMG_20170422_050008-002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vOp_q6tGmqs/WPs6hbcOfOI/AAAAAAAAFl0/c_NmrbWkfqsqIHlT7tNshJlKvjVBfz3NACLcB/s640/IMG_20170422_050008-002.jpg" width="570" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nykaa.com/nykaa-skingenius.html?intcmp=nykaa|top-banner|1|nykaa-skingenius" target="_blank">Nykaa- SKINGenius Compacts</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the ones who are skeptical of ordering online, my order came in three days in this pink box and was of top notch quality.&nbsp;</div>Available for just <i>Rs. 525, </i>the Rose Beige 02 was perfect for my complexion. As my color is on the wheat-ish side, this shade perfectly blends on my skin. I prefer my compacts to not make me look white and should give a natural look on my face and this matte finish compact did exactly that for me. Oh, and it's texture is creamy and soft.<br />For somebody like me who sweats like a pig, having a compact which helps me fight the oily look is actually a blessing. For me the deal breaker about this product was that it lasts all day long. (Which even the brand I was loyal to, couldn't offer) And anyway, nobody likes to put makeup on their face, 10 times a day. I hated doing that but since I had no other option, I went ahead and put compact on my face, again and again.<br />In a nutshell, if you're looking for compacts that blend with your skin tone and help you survive the dreadful weather, go with the SKINGenius compacts range. You won't be disappointed. I know, I wasn't.<br /><br /><br />-Shweghna.<br /><br /><br /></div>Shweghna Gursahaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646293237297149785noreply@blogger.com0
